Chargers vs. Washington will showcase two of NFL's most efficient blitzing defenses

On Thursday night, NFL fans were traumatized by treated to a face off between the two most efficient blitzing teams in the league in the Bengals and Steelers. On Sunday, they’ll get a showdown between the third and fourth best in that arena.

According to NFL Matchup on ESPN, Washington and the Chargers are ranked No. 3 and No. 4 respectively in terms of the percentage of blitz snaps that result in pressure on the quarterback — both teams nearing the 50 percent mark.

When these Defenses decide to blitz, they get the most pressure on opposing Quarterbacks!

Still, with the way the Chargers have played over the last three games, it’s hard to imagine that they’re going to let Cousins have that type of performance in Week 14. Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram have been a devastating combination at defensive end all season, but the Chargers defense has been wreaking next-level havoc on opposing quarterbacks since Week 11.

Over their last three games, opposing quarterbacks have thrown a combined 590 yards for 2 touchdowns and 8 interceptions for a passer rating of 48.8. That’s by far the lowest opposing passer rating of any team during that span, including the red hot New England Patriots, who’ve held their opponents to 60.7 passer rating since Week 11.
